British media disclose two suspects of Imran Farooq murder

KARACHI: British media has disclosed that two Pakistani nationals have been involved in the Dr Imran Farooq murder case.

The names of two suspects in the case have been identified by British media reports as Mohsin Ali Syed and Muhammad Kashif Khan.

The key progress made in the murder case of Dr. Imran Farooq, was disclosed by the British media. The suspects were staying on student visa in England.

The British Crown Prosecution Service had officially asked Pakistani authorities to search for the two most wanted suspects in the killing of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) leader Dr Imran Farooq, media reports said.

The suspects reportedly boarded a plane to Sri Lanka from London's Heathrow airport on the same day the MQM leader was killed.

It was alleged that Kashif Khan had come to England just days before the murder of Dr Farooq.

The report further said that the visa forms of the two suspects were verified by a Karachi-based businessman Moazzam Ali Khan.

MQM leader Dr Imran Farooq was on his way home from work when he was attacked in Green Lane on Sept 16, 2010 outside his London home. A post-mortem report found that he died from multiple stab wounds and blunt trauma to the head.
